Brett Johnson has been called the Godfather of cyber crime. He was on the FBI’s most-wanted list. And he was on What the Hack before! He returns for a freewheeling conversation about what’s new in cybercrime, how it’s changed and wants you to know how to better protect your digital life.

This week’s episode is a freewheeling conversation about how awesome Brett was at crime and how the young whippersnappers of today’s no-goodnik crowd need to get their Telegram-messaging deepfakes off of his goddamn lawn. 

Plus this week’s Tin Foil Swan lets you try on a pair of gold-colored sneakers.
